This weekend we decided to buy all of our kids devotional books. We had a family devotion book, but because the age range is so wide between our children, it wasn't always suitable for each of their varying ages.
So, we bought Will one that I think was just called "Grace", and is a composition of various writers. We bought Maren one called "Chick Chat", and we bought Joshua one for pre-schoolers.
Last night I read Josh's to him...the title of this particular day's devotion was called "satisfied", and it was all about being satisfied with what you have. As soon as we were done he excitedly exclaimed, "read another one, read another one." I said "no, I told you before we started that we would only read one each day." to which he again replied, "read another one, read another one." I thought to myself, this is good, I can now relate the devotion to his current behavior, and that he should be satisfied that we read just one. Let me just tell you, that did not sink in at all, as he continued to repeatedly say, "read another one!" So, I read another one.
I just thought it was kind of humorous that his first devotion was on being "satisfied", and he seemingly didn't even catch a glimpse of what it was talking about...however, I'm very excited that he's excited about me reading them to him!

I guess if there's one thing to NEVER be satisfied with (as in always wanting more) it's the Word, Amen?! He's just like his mamma. ;-)
I guess we should never be satisfied with how much of the Word we get. Glad you read him another one! I really need to get our kids back into a daily devotional. We use to do it but got out of the habit. Thanks for the reminder!
